Here's why congresswomen are wearing pink for Trump's speech tonight

Washington — Many Democratic women in Congress wore bright pink for President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday in a display of defiance against the president. 

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico, who leads the Democratic Women's Caucus, told Time magazine that the color signifies "our protest of Trump's policies which are negatively impacting women and families."

"Pink is a color of power and protest," she told the magazine. "It's time to rev up the opposition and come at Trump loud and clear."
